Default What Kind of Jobs are there Aside from Anchorage (Outdoors, Healthcare, etc)?

Hi I've posted on here a few times before. I'm a young guy figuring stuff out and recently graduated from college with a business degree.

I was wondering what kind of jobs would let you work outdoors and maybe in a remote area with beautiful nature and still have a decent standard of living and work towards a future.

What kind of jobs are there in non-Anchorage places like Fairbanks, Talkeetna, Healy, and Fort Yukon? I realize Fairbanks is not as remote and Talkeetna etc touristy because of the Denali crowd, but there is still a decent off season and you have the great outdoors. Stuff like metereology, forestry, healthcare, scientific research?

I realize there's probably not a whole lot of jobs up there like law or accounting. Simply not enough companies for it. Gotta figure out some way of pulling off the Last Frontier.

I don't like the standard day to day in an urban/suburban area with nothing to do on the weekends and the kind of people that go to malls and restaurants and movies like the rest of the normal world. Anchorage to me would be death even though I could probably enjoy the outdoors on the weekend. I'm different I like to hike and camp and ski and read. I'm most at home in smaller towns and in the outdoors.
